PUBG has been linked with many odd incidents in the country and as a result, the game banned for a short period of time in Pakistan. This is yet another incident where the man, referred to as “PUBG Addict”, open fired in the neighborhood after a domestic dispute with his family.

The police officer said, “The accused recreated a PUBG scene. The accused had a brawl with his family the other day. Today, he brought a pistol from somewhere and opened fire.”
A CCTV footage was uploaded by ARY News which shows a man open firing in a small lane. The accused was also seen wearing a helmet, similar to a PUBG character on the battlefield.
The victims of this incident are members of his own friends and family. This is an outlandish incident where a game was mimicked in the most inappropriate way.
